Question

I\'m an IIS guy and know its as simple as just using the http://[computername]/path to webapp.. however, I can\'t seem to figure out how to make this possible for a JSP appl

Answer 1

As well as blocking the port (see AirSource Ltd's answer), your firewall may have restrictions on the Tomcat service. For example, Mcafee Firewall restricts Tomcat to "outgoing only".

If using Mcafee, under Change Settings > Firewall, expand Internet Connections for Programs and find Commons Daemon Service Runner (aka tomcat*.exe). Edit it and change Access from Outgoing Only to Incoming and outgoing - Use designated ports (recommended).
